Seychelles National Museum of History

Step back into the days of the buccaneers at the Seychelles
National Museum of History, which features excellent displays of
historic artefacts relating to the cultural and natural history of
the islands. Exhibits include a range of interesting objects
salvaged from shipwrecks, coral, and voodoo dolls to items that
belonged to well-known pirates in days of yore. The museum also
holds the oldest known map of the Seychelles, which dates back to
1517. Though the museum is small, its single gallery offers a
fascinating glimpse into the culture and history of the Seychelles,
and visitors interested in local history will be rewarded by
spending a quick hour or two perusing the exhibition.
